Just curious there Torquelink,
What makes the folks that invented the Skidoo so terrible to work for? From where I sit, I see pretty good things mostly. I have seen the downside in the time I've worked for them, but generally it's been no worse than working for any other company that has about 85000 employees. You get really big, and theres bound to be a huge trail of paper pushers and bean counters, but it's no worse than anyplace else.
There is no doubt that they buy cheap and drive a hard deal, but that is how they made it from building skidoos in J. Armand's garage to being the third largest aircraft manufacturer in the world. If that makes them people of questionable parentage, so be it, but to me it's just wise business.
